Having been held 0-0 by the Iberians in their opener, Germany's 2-0 success against Finland means they would advance with a defeat at Örjans vall providing Spain fail to beat the Finns and overturn a four-goal differential. • Should Germany and Spain finish level on points, goal difference and goals scored, then coefficient ranking will come into play. Based on points obtained divided by the number of matches played in qualifying for the 2007 and 2009 finals (group stage only), Spain's coefficient is superior, 3.400 to Germany's 2.700. • England have enjoyed the better of the countries' competitive meetings down the years, notably with victories over the Germans in the 1982 UEFA European Championship final and also in the qualifying play-off for the 2007 finals in the Netherlands. • England have four wins and just one defeat from the previous eight encounters.

  • Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives Between Italy and Eastern Europe
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Renata Redford 2016 © Copyright by Renata Redford 2016 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe by Renata Redford Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Lucia Re, Chair This dissertation investigates a vital body of women’s writing in Italian about the estranging effects of migration in order to emphasize the articulation of a literary discourse that undermines conventional depictions of the Eastern European female migrant. I provide evidence of the emergence in their work of a distinctly transnational approach to literary writing (narrative in particular), founded on a creative way of addressing questions of estrangement, the body, and memory. I consider the work of three authors, who have yet to be fully acknowledged in the Italian literary landscape: the Italophone writers Jarmila Očkayová (1955-present; Italo- Slovakian) and Ingrid Beatrice Coman (1971-present; Italo-Romanian living in Malta), and Marisa Madieri (1938-1996; Italo-Hungarian from Istria), whose native language was Italian. My analysis focuses on the stylistic, thematic, and structural elements that Očkayová, Coman and Madieri employ to engage with and

England had already reached the last four courtesy of wins over Finland (2-1) and Spain (2-0) and a point was good enough to keep them top of the section, while Germany finished second having previously drawn with Spain (0-0) and defeated the Finns (2-0). • The lineups for the group game between the sides were: Germany: Manuel Neuer, Andreas Beck, Benedikt Höwedes, Jerome Boateng, Patrick Ebert (Dennis Aogo 85), Sami Khedira, Ashkan Dejagah, Mesut Özil, Änis Ben-Hatira (Marko Marin 68), Gonzalo Castro, Marcel Schmelzer.

  • 21 March 2012 Opposition: Queens Park Rangers
    21 March2012 21 Date: 21 March 2012 Guardian Mirror Echo Opposition: Queens Park Rangers Telegraph Independent Mail Standard Competition: League Mackie sets seal on Rangers' show of fighting spirit This was the sort of feat that fuels successful relegation fights. Queen Park Rangers were deservedly two goals down with time ticking away yet stormed back to plunder their first win in two months. It was a display of unquenchable spirit above all else and propelled Mark Hughes's team out of the bottom three. Liverpool, by contrast, surrendered any lingering hopes of finishing in the Champions League places with a curiously meek collapse. Jose Enrique's inexplicable tumble that allowed Jamie Mackie in for the stoppage-time winning goal summed up the visitors' haplessness in the last quarter of a contest that they had mostly dominated. This was the first labour of QPR's Herculean 10-task run-in, with clashes against the top four among those looming after the duel with Kenny Dalglish's team. Hughes was able to field his strongest line-up as he sought to arrest a six-match winless streak, with his new signing Samba Diakite returning to the team after serving the suspension he incurred for getting sent off in his debut against Fulham last month. That was just one of a litany of blunders that helped account for QPR's lowly position in the table. It initially look like more errors would undo Rangers here, as in the second minute Joey Barton wasted a promising attacking free-kick for the home side and enabled Jay Spearing to launch an immediate counter-offensive.
